Greg’s bar in Allentown got busted a few weeks ago for operating and last night ringers roost got busted by the PA liquor control board.  

Now they're gonna allow to-go cocktails.

About time!!!  

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Georgia has been putting out misleading info about their number of coronavirus cases and the trend.  On one of their graphs they put the dates in the X axis totally out of order to manipulate the curve.

Check your data people.......

Like I said before, I would be out on the street if I was using data the way that these governmental organizations are using it.

Does it though? I mean when you look at things like the table I posted yesterday, the only thing I can think of is "Not Enough Data".

What does not enough data say? Not enough testing....

Bingo!

 

Hopefully the handful of people worldwide who are smart enough and are working on this are able to figure out a simple, fast, reliable test that is able to be brought up to scale quickly with existing supply chains. 

Until then, I'll probably just go back over to the train thread. I see Norfolk Southern trains quite often when I'm out running. I was watching one cross the bridge over the Schuylkill the other day and the engineer saw me looking and blew the horn. Not going to lie, that was pretty cool.

Mauch Chunk i think is uphill from Beltzville, cause it seems like shit dont flow down hill to it.  For some reason i think MC doesnt get completely shitted up like Beltzville.  

Hickory Run will be a zoo this weekend tho.

i can't wait to see how crowded it still gets. why they never enforce the parking along bv road i dont understand. for anyone not familiar, look at the normal amount of parking with google satellite. it's an unbelievable amount. on memorial day it overflows onto the road coming into it and, even though there are signs saying no parking, people park at least a qtr mile deep along it. if the weather forecast holds up, it'll be madness.

Yes I’m gonna overuse the fuck out of it until I find something else to overuse the duck out of.  Would you prefer OK Mrs. Snowbunski?
